I really am pleased this morning that we we have our President for another four years. It was a mean race dealing with personal issues rather than the American people. I truly do feel that our country is on an amazing upswing. One president can not possibly "fix" our country in four years, so I am pleased that the people gave our president more time. I do feel that he is more in touch with the average person  than  Mr. Romney.Mr. Romney has lived the charmed life that money provides .Perhaps someday he will experience the woes of the average man. I do wish wish him and his family well because he is eager for our country to get better. With everyone we can accomplish this goal. Now, more than ever we must come together as a people, a nation,and a history for our children.

It hasn't been proven that housework can kill you, but why risk it? Rest in Peace Phyllis Diller.

"I LIKE PIGS.  Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us like equals." Winston Churchill. Think about it.

"Sex is one of nine reasons for reincarnation, the other eight are unimportant" Larry Niven. Just a thought to ponder.Today is such a great rainy day. A good day to stay inside and read a book. OR go for a walk and come in for hot chocolate. It really is nice that at times we don't melt . Physically that is, not to mention mentally.

" A British survey says that 9 out of ten people love chocolate. The other one lies"

"If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted?" George Carlin. I really miss hearing his take on things. As controversial as he was , he was always timely, cleverly so. He never became  "old". As I get older I find that I say things that are not always politically correct. And I am usually not sorry.I read about another case of flesh eating disease who lost her hands and leg. It really makes me even more thankful that I survived. One in four don't.I will have my new leg next week. I am really excited. Maybe I'll get a tattoo.

"CHOP YOUR OWN WOOD AND IT WILL WARM YOU TWICE". Henry Ford. I find that sometimes the most logical and the simplest ideas carry the most weight and are most memorable. I've taken so many moments to reflect on my life , my friends, my acquaintances lately. I have been so blessed in all areas.There have been many bumps in the road and I wouldn't change any of them. They have made me strong and resilient. I hope that my experiences have helped someone in some way. I truly believe that God places me where I can do the most good. I might also add that He places me where others can be there for me in my life when I need them. I hope that I never get so oblivious that I don't appreciate or listen to others.I hope that when I am gone, I will leave something good, whether it be memories or something physical. I hope that those who have gone before me realize what an impact they had on me , others, and our society. Everything happens for a reason whether we see that reason at the time. Today I wish you rose colored glasses and a great feeling of accomplishment, big or small.
